[0028] (Example 1) The weight loss support AI app according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system designed to help users effectively achieve weight loss without having to struggle alone. This system provides basic knowledge about weight loss and checks daily progress. This allows the weight loss support AI app to help users effectively achieve weight loss without having to struggle alone.
[0029] A weight-loss support AI app according to an embodiment includes a knowledge provision unit and a progress check unit. The knowledge provision unit provides basic knowledge about weight loss. For example, the generation AI teaches the user about proper dietary habits, exercise methods, and calorie calculation methods. The generation AI also provides appropriate information based on prompts containing instructions about the user's desired content. For example, in response to a prompt such as "Tell me a healthy breakfast recipe," the generation AI provides specific advice such as "A breakfast of oatmeal and fruit would be good." The progress check unit checks the user's daily weight loss progress. For example, the generation AI allows the user to enter their daily weight, diet, exercise amount, etc. into the app, and analyzes the data to evaluate their progress. For example, if the user answers "70 kg" to a question such as "How much do you weigh today?", the generation AI provides feedback such as "You've lost 0.5 kg since yesterday. That's amazing!" This allows the weight-loss support AI app to effectively achieve weight loss without the user having to struggle alone.
[0030] The knowledge provision unit can analyze the user's past dietary history and exercise history and provide individually customized weight loss knowledge. For example, the knowledge provision unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past dietary history and identify imbalances in nutritional balance. For example, if a specific nutrient is lacking based on dietary data from the past month, the generation AI will suggest meals to supplement that nutrient. The generation AI will analyze the user's exercise history and evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise. For example, it will suggest an effective exercise plan based on past exercise data. This allows the user to be provided with optimal weight loss knowledge.
[0031] The knowledge provider can learn the user's lifestyle habits and preferences and suggest the optimal weight loss plan based on that. For example, the knowledge provider's generation AI learns the user's lifestyle habits and suggests appropriate meal timings. For example, if the user is a nocturnal person, it will suggest meals that are less likely to make you fat even if eaten late at night. The generation AI learns the user's preferences and suggests a weight loss plan that suits their tastes. For example, it will suggest a meal plan that incorporates the user's favorite foods. This makes it possible to provide a weight loss plan based on the user's lifestyle habits and preferences.
[0032] The progress check unit can analyze the user's progress data in real time and provide instant feedback. In the progress check unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's weight data in real time and provides instant feedback. For example, if the user loses weight, it sends a message such as "Great progress!" The generation AI analyzes the user's dietary data in real time and provides instant feedback. For example, if the user enters their dietary information, it provides specific advice such as "You should eat more vegetables." The generation AI analyzes the user's exercise data in real time and provides instant feedback. For example, if the user increases their exercise volume, it sends a message such as "That's a good amount of exercise!" This allows the user's progress data to be analyzed in real time and provide instant feedback.
[0033] The progress check unit can compare the user's progress data with other users and evaluate the relative progress. In the progress check unit, for example, the generation AI compares the user's weight data with other users and evaluates the relative progress. For example, it provides feedback such as, "Compared to other users with the same goal, your progress is good." The generation AI compares the user's diet data with other users and evaluates the balanced diet. For example, it provides feedback such as, "Compared to other users, your diet is balanced." The generation AI compares the user's exercise data with other users and evaluates the amount of exercise. For example, it provides feedback such as, "Compared to other users, your amount of exercise is sufficient." This makes it possible to compare the user's progress data with other users and evaluate the relative progress.
[0034] The progress check unit can visualize the user's progress data and display it visually in graphs and charts. In the progress check unit, for example, the generation AI graphs the user's weight data and displays the progress visually. For example, it may display changes in weight in a line graph, allowing the progress of weight loss to be confirmed at a glance. The generation AI graphs the user's dietary data and displays the progress visually. For example, it may display the intake of each nutrient in a pie chart, allowing the user to confirm a balanced diet. The generation AI graphs the user's exercise data and displays the progress visually. For example, it may display changes in exercise volume in a bar graph, allowing the progress of exercise to be confirmed at a glance. In this way, the user's progress data is displayed visually, allowing the progress to be confirmed at a glance.
[0035] The progress check unit can integrate the user's progress data with other health data to perform a comprehensive health assessment. In the progress check unit, for example, the generation AI integrates the user's weight data and sleep data to perform a comprehensive health assessment. For example, if the user's sleep time is short, the generation AI can provide advice such as, "Getting more sleep will improve your weight loss results." The generation AI can integrate the user's weight data and stress level to perform a comprehensive health assessment. For example, if the user's stress level is high, the generation AI can provide advice such as, "Relaxing will improve your weight loss results." The generation AI can integrate the user's weight data and blood pressure data to perform a comprehensive health assessment. For example, if the user's blood pressure is high, the generation AI can provide advice such as, "Reducing salt intake will improve your weight loss results." In this way, the user's progress data can be integrated with other health data to perform a comprehensive health assessment.
[0036] The knowledge provision unit can incorporate weight loss methods from different cultural spheres and regions to provide the user with a variety of options. For example, the generation AI learns the eating habits of different cultural spheres and suggests a weight loss method that is suitable for the user. For example, it can provide a weight loss plan that incorporates the Mediterranean diet or Japanese food. The generation AI learns the exercise habits of different regions and suggests an exercise method that is suitable for the user.

For example, the generation AI inputs the user's daily weight, diet, and exercise amount into the app, and analyzes the data to evaluate the user's progress. If the user answers "70 kg" to a question such as "How much do you weigh today?", the generation AI will provide feedback such as "You've lost 0.5 kg since yesterday. That's great!"

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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."
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
