[0028] (Example 1) In the food spoilage determination system according to an embodiment of the present invention, an odor sensor attached to a mobile phone detects the odor of food, a generation AI analyzes the data, determines the state of spoilage, and a display unit displays the determination result. This allows consumers to easily check the state of spoilage of food.
[0029] A food spoilage determination system according to an embodiment includes an odor sensor, a generation AI, and a display unit. The odor sensor detects the odor of food. For example, the odor sensor may detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a gas sensor. The odor sensor may also detect specific odor components using electronic nose technology. The odor sensor may also detect specific odor components emitted from foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables. The generation AI analyzes the odor data detected by the odor sensor. For example, the generation AI may analyze the odor data using a neural network to determine the spoilage state. The generation AI may also analyze the odor data using a machine learning algorithm. The generation AI may output a result, such as "This food is spoiled" or "This food is still fresh." The display unit displays the analysis results of the generation AI. For example, the display unit may display the determination result using an LCD display. The display unit may also display the determination result using an LED display. The display unit may display a red warning if the food is spoiled and a green warning if the food is fresh. This allows consumers to easily check the spoilage state of food. For example, consumers can check the spoilage status of food on their mobile phone screen, check the safety of food purchased at the supermarket, and regularly check the condition of food stored at home.
[0030] The odor sensor can detect specific odor components emitted from at least one of meat, fish, and vegetables. The odor sensor can detect specific odor components emitted from foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables. For example, the odor sensor can detect amines. The odor sensor can also detect hydrogen sulfide. The odor sensor can also detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs), for example. This allows the odor components of specific foods to be detected.
[0031] The generative AI can analyze smell data and output results such as "This food is spoiled" or "This food is still fresh." For example, the generative AI analyzes smell data and outputs a result such as "This food is spoiled." For example, the generative AI determines spoilage based on the concentration of smell components. The generative AI can also analyze smell data and output a result such as "This food is still fresh." For example, the generative AI determines freshness based on detected chemicals. The generative AI can also analyze smell data using, for example, a neural network to determine the state of spoilage. This allows for a clear determination of the state of spoilage of food.
[0032] The display unit can display a red warning if the food is spoiled, and a green warning if the food is fresh. For example, the display unit displays a red warning if the food is spoiled. For example, the display unit can flash a red display. Furthermore, the display unit displays a green display if the food is fresh. For example, the display unit can light up a green display. Furthermore, the display unit can display the judgment result using, for example, an LCD display. This makes it possible to visually indicate the spoilage state in an easy-to-understand manner.
[0033] The generation AI can set different judgment criteria for at least one of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. The generation AI, for example, sets different judgment criteria for meat. For example, the generation AI sets the judgment criteria based on the speed at which meat spoils. The generation AI also sets different judgment criteria for fish. For example, the generation AI sets the judgment criteria based on the threshold for the odor components of fish. The generation AI also sets different judgment criteria for vegetables. For example, the generation AI sets the judgment criteria based on the speed at which vegetables spoil. The generation AI also sets different judgment criteria for fruit. For example, the generation AI sets the judgment criteria based on the threshold for the odor components of fruit. This enables more accurate judgment of the spoilage state of each food item.
[0034] The generation AI can predict the state of spoilage several days from now based on current smell data and notify consumers. The generation AI can, for example, predict the state of spoilage several days from now based on current smell data. For example, the generation AI predicts changes in smell components. The generation AI can also predict the state of spoilage by taking into account the effects of temperature and humidity. The generation AI can also notify consumers, for example. For example, the generation AI can notify a smartphone. The generation AI can also notify by an alarm sound. The generation AI can also notify by email, for example. This makes it possible to predict the state of spoilage in the future and notify consumers.
[0035] The odor sensor can allow the user to customize the installation position, enabling odor detection in the optimal position. The odor sensor can, for example, allow the user to customize the installation position. For example, the odor sensor can be provided with multiple installation points on the back or side of a mobile phone. The odor sensor can also allow the user to freely select the installation position. The odor sensor can also adjust the installation position, for example, taking into account the diffusion range of the odor. This allows the user to detect odors in the optimal position.
[0036] The smell sensor can add a function that allows the sensitivity to be adjusted in real time, enabling optimal detection according to the environment. The smell sensor can add a function that allows the sensitivity to be adjusted in real time. For example, the smell sensor can allow the sensitivity to be adjusted through a dedicated app. The smell sensor can also allow the user to change the sensitivity by operating a slider within the app. The smell sensor can also adjust the sensitivity taking into account environmental factors, for example. This enables optimal smell detection according to the environment.
[0037] The smell sensor can be made detachable so that it can be attached to other devices. For example, the smell sensor can be designed to be detachable. For example, by providing a dedicated attachment, the smell sensor can be easily attached to other devices such as tablets and smart watches. The smell sensor can also be designed to simplify the removal procedure. Furthermore, the smell sensor can be designed with attachment compatibility in mind, for example. This allows the smell sensor to be used with other devices.
[0038] Multiple odor sensors can be attached to simultaneously collect odor data from different locations, enabling highly accurate determinations. For example, multiple odor sensors can be attached. For example, sensors can be placed on the top, bottom, left, and right of a mobile phone. Furthermore, odor sensors can simultaneously collect odor data from different locations. For example, odor sensors can simultaneously collect odor data from multiple locations, enabling more accurate determinations. Furthermore, for example, multiple odor sensors can be used to identify the source of an odor. This allows data to be collected from multiple locations, improving the accuracy of determinations.
[0039] When analyzing odor data, the generation AI can add a function to detect anomalies by comparing it with past data. For example, when analyzing odor data, the generation AI can add a function to detect anomalies by comparing it with a past database. For example, the generation AI can detect abnormal odor components by comparing it with past data on fresh food. The generation AI can also detect anomalies based on past storage periods. The generation AI can also introduce, for example, an algorithm to identify abnormal patterns. This allows it to detect anomalies by comparing it with past data.
[0040] When analyzing odor data, the generative AI can also integrate and analyze data from other sensors. For example, when analyzing odor data, the generative AI can also integrate and analyze data from temperature and humidity sensors. For example, the generative AI collects temperature and humidity data in real time and reflects it in the analysis. The generative AI can also introduce algorithms that integrate data from other sensors. The generative AI can also correct odor data based on data from temperature and humidity sensors, for example. This allows data from other sensors to be integrated and analyzed.
[0041] When analyzing odor data, the generative AI can analyze the odor data of different foods simultaneously and determine the spoilage state of multiple foods at once. The generative AI, for example, analyzes the odor data of different foods simultaneously. For example, the generative AI analyzes the odor data of meat and vegetables simultaneously. The generative AI can also determine the spoilage state of multiple foods at once. For example, the generative AI can analyze the odor data of multiple foods using a parallel processing algorithm. The generative AI can also develop an algorithm for determining the spoilage state of multiple foods at once. This makes it possible to determine the spoilage state of multiple foods at once.

The temperature adjustment unit can also set the optimal storage temperature depending on the type of food. This can extend the food's shelf life.
[0124] The food spoilage detection system can also use an emotion estimation function to change the notification method based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the system can notify them in a gentle voice. If the user is in a hurry, the system can notify them quickly with a short message. This allows for flexible responses according to the user's emotions.
[0125] The food spoilage determination system can further include a recipe suggestion unit. The recipe suggestion unit has the function of suggesting recipes using spoiled food. For example, if the odor sensor detects spoilage of vegetables, the recipe suggestion unit will display recipes for soups or stir-fries using those vegetables. The recipe suggestion unit can also customize recipes based on the user's preferences and past cooking history. This reduces food waste and allows for efficient consumption.
[0126] The food spoilage detection system can also use an emotion estimation function to suggest storage methods based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the system can provide detailed instructions on how to store food. If the user is feeling relaxed, the system can suggest simple storage methods. This allows the system to provide appropriate advice based on the user's emotions.
[0127] The food spoilage determination system can further include a nutritional information providing unit. The nutritional information providing unit has the function of providing information about the nutritional value of food. For example, it displays the nutritional value of food detected by an odor sensor. The nutritional information providing unit can also provide nutritional advice based on the user's health condition and dietary restrictions. This allows the user to maintain a healthy diet.
[0128] The food spoilage detection system can also use an emotion estimation function to remind the user of food expiration dates based on their emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the system can remind them with a gentle voice. If the user is busy, the system can quickly remind them with a short message. This allows for flexible reminders that respond to the user's emotions.
[0129] The food spoilage assessment system can also add a function for managing food purchase history. The purchase history management unit records the history of food purchased by the user and provides information on expiration dates and storage methods. For example, the system will notify the user when the expiration date of food purchased by the user is approaching. The purchase history management unit can also suggest the next purchase list based on past purchase history. This allows for efficient food management.
[0130] The food spoilage detection system can also use an emotion estimation function to suggest food storage locations based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the system can provide detailed storage locations. If the user is feeling relaxed, the system can suggest simple storage locations. This allows the system to provide appropriate storage location advice based on the user's emotions.
[0131] The food spoilage assessment system can further include a food waste management unit. The waste management unit records the amount and type of food discarded by the user and provides advice on how to reduce waste. For example, based on data on the amount of food discarded by the user, the unit can suggest an appropriate amount to purchase the next time. The waste management unit can also suggest storage methods and recipes to reduce waste. This reduces food waste and enables environmentally friendly consumption.
[0132] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0133] Step 1: The odor sensor detects the odor of food. For example, the odor sensor uses a gas sensor to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The odor sensor can also detect specific odor components using electronic nose technology. Furthermore, the odor sensor can detect specific odor components emitted from foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables. Step 2: The generation AI analyzes the odor data detected by the odor sensor. For example, the generation AI can analyze the odor data using a neural network to determine the state of spoilage. The generation AI can also analyze the odor data using a machine learning algorithm. The generation AI outputs a result such as "This food is spoiled" or "This food is still fresh." Step 3: The display unit displays the results of the analysis by the generation AI. For example, the display unit displays the judgment result using an LCD display. The display unit can also display the judgment result using an LED display. Furthermore, the display unit displays a red warning if the product is spoiled and a green warning if the product is fresh.

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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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).
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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."
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
